The Royal Islander

I have been an owner since 2002 and recommend the Islander and the Caribbean to everyone. The service is wonderful, and the resort staff are provided training to speak english. Go there...you will love it!

If you want a family, quiet at night atmosphere, this is the resort for you. Service on the beach and around the pool was good. The staff is very friendly and speak excellent English. Resort is very clean and rooms are in excellent condition. The ocean is VERY rough in this area. No one could get in it the entire week. Also, due to hurricanes the beach area is very small. I never had trouble getting a palapa to sit under the whole week as most people stay by the pool. I loved looking at the beautiful blue ocean and didn't mind not getting in because there was a great breeze and I never felt "hot". I would not recommend this beach for young children (the children's pool is where all the little ones stayed). The shuttle service was great and allowed us to eat dinner at different locations. I suggest Puerto Madero and El Conquistador for fine dining. Captains Cove is good. One night we didn't want to leave the resort so we ate mexican at Paco's Tacos at the resort. It was good for a more casual meal. This is the second time I have stayed at this resort and since I don't care about swimming in the ocean, only looking at it, I would definitely return here.

Just returned from 2 weeks (1- Royal Islander, 1-Royal Caribbean) and togehter this was just fantastic. Nothing compares. The three resorts tied together gives a vast amount of choices for pools and places to eat! Outdoor or indoor the food was great.

The staff is excellent - say hi to "Bear" Manuel at the Royal Mayan Swim-up Bar when you stay!

Excellent accommodation excellent pool. Very good service and value at bars and resturants.

Not too big , great beach.

I'll be back.

We stayed in August 2005 and it was fantastic! Our room was spotless and the maid was a worker bee! The service was impeccable at all the Royal resorts, which prompted us to buy one at The Royal Haciendas during pre-construction. We're on the lookout for another Royal purchase to give us a 2 week stay! You can't go wrong. This is a proven company with a great track record.

What a wonderful place to spend a vacation! Everyone was very pleasant and helpful. The Welcome party & Taco party are alot of fun! We were amazed at how clean and beautiful the Royal Islander was so soon after the hurricane! I would recommend this lovely place to anyone who wants to relax in warm weather and feel pampered! We will defintely go back! Don't wait-go soon!

You will actually relax at this place. It is gorgeous, clean, wonderful staff & amenities and once you've left.. you'll be dreaming of how quickly you can come back again. We took over family timeshare last year, and had the best time here. Accessible to tours, buses, taxis, very secure environment, family friendly. You really are treated like royalty. Loved the on- site grocery and how resorts connect. Dolce Vita restaurant was fabulous, as were those on premise.

We have been to many other timeshare locations, and this beats all.

We just returned from a weeks stay at the Royal Islander. The resort is meticulous and the food is very good. It was nice to meander through the 3 resorts. My only complaint is that the pillows were like rocks. The staff was very friendly. I think they could have more activities out by the pool area ... that could get a little boring. And they need to heat the pool. It was freezing! There was some beach erosion and there are large rocks at the Islander. But next door at the Royal Carribean, you could get into the ocean and swim (which was a balmy 80 degrees). I would definitely return.

The Royals do an amazing job of setting the bar by which you will measure all Cancun non- inclusive resorts. The Islander has beautifully maintained grounds, spacious units with large balconies and excellent on-site amenities. The food at the restaurants is delicious and the prices at the boutique are great! Everyone is friendly and helpful. Happy hour's half price drinks and free chips and salsa are an added bonus. If you ever get the chance, stay at one of the Royal resorts in Cancun.

Outstanding beach, amenities and comfort for all ages, great staff, bilingual, excellent maid service, you will love vacationing here!

We own at the Royal Sands, but purchased a resale unit here last year. The price was right and we thought it would be a good trader. The dilema is whether to trade it or not. We love the Sands, but the three connected Royals here are just awesome. Our unit is on the bottom of the food chain, yet still just incredible! There are no bad units here. You just can't go wrong.

stayed here over the 4th of july weekend 03 and things just dont get any better then the royal resorts! the place was as clean as it gets and the staff was GREAT! food prices were also fantastic.. I will continue to go to the royals evry year!

The Royal Islander has 2 bedroom, 2 bath units which "split" to a 1 bedroom and a "studio". This is a first class resort with a staff that is magnificent. Daily maid service, 5* restaurants at reasonable prices, beautiful pools, and a full list of daily activities make this a perfect family vacation. A free hour of sailboating daily and free snorkel gear to use are provided with each unit.

The layout of the buildings means almost every unit has an ocean view. View the units at www.royalresorts.com. We totally enjoyed our stay and can't wait to return!

great resort in beautiful cancun. so many activities and the friendliest service. so much to do in cancun, so many restaurants and the prettiest beach. this resort is truly a first class resort. consider yourself lucky if you get to stay in this resort. we put a search and had the fortune to get in, took us six months to get it.
